Boba_Fett1138 Nothing to see here people. Just another movie in which a bunch of teenagers are getting killed, inside a haunted house. No, the movie already isn't very original to begin with but it also does little good on its own. It has not good horror or gore in it, no good acting, not a good story at all and also totally fails to entertain as a comedy.Really, I don't get why someone would enjoy watching a movie like this. It's just one more of those cheap sort of productions, that lack in every department and are basically all alike.It's really a movie that allows lots of random stuff to happen. Most of the horror related stuff happening in this movie doesn't really even make sense in the context of the story. It's just put in for the sake of it and to make this a horror, in which a bunch of annoying teenagers can get to die in.You would think that the comedy would add to the entertainment value of this movie but in fact it really doesn't, simply because the movie never becomes fun or funny enough. Some more creativity wouldn't had harmed this movie.No, also horror fans will mostly likely not enjoy this. It doesn't has scares in it really and only features some stuff we all have seen before already and we have seen all done way better as well. So don't expect a movie with scares or any tension in it, or even some decent gore for that matter.The characters really aren't likable enough to ever care for and it of course does not help much that they are being played by some awful actors. Seriously, it's no coincidence most of the careers. of the actors from this movie, have dried up already. Sure, it still has Brad Dourif in it but you could tell he probably was on the set for about 7 days, collected his paycheck and got out as fast as he could. He is hardly in the movie at all really, even though he plays the main villain of the movie. It's a character that however spends most of the time off screen. That was also a complaint I had about this movie; it didn't really had a good and clearly visible, threat/main villain in it.No, it's really not the worst modern genre attempt but it still is a pretty bad movie to watch.4/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Coventry Sometimes a thoroughly unoriginal horror film is referred to as a total rip-off or blatant imitation and sometimes it's called a genuine throwback or a homage. I guess all depends on how entertaining the film was and how obviously it mentions its sources of inspiration. "The Hazing", for instance, is a successful new horror flick because it's unpretentious and good old-fashioned straightforward splatter fun. The plot is a mixture between the 80's classics "The Evil Dead" and "Night of the Demons", and sprinkled with some flashes of gratuitous nudity, you're almost guaranteed to have a winner! During a fraternity scavenger hunt, a couple of students need to steal a rare book in the house of a deranged murderous professor with an obsession for demonology. They accidentally kill the professor, but he returns by possessing one of the students during the second part of their initiation ritual: spending the night in a reputedly haunted house. Trapped inside the house on Halloween's Eve, the students will have to distinguish the actual demon attacks from all the fake stuff that was put there to scare them. As you can tell, this is completely derivative and clichéd guff you've seen a hundred times before already, and yet you won't regret watching "The Hazing" for a single second. Rolfe Kanefsky delivers a screenplay that is fast-paced and doesn't take itself overly serious. The lead characters are you're your usual stereotypes - or perhaps just act like stereotypes to make their lives easier, like the blond bimbo – and there's a lot of variation in the gore & splatter. "The Hazing" contains chainsaw action (another homage to "The Evil Dead"), axe-decapitations, giant darts and near-suffocation by a humongous tongue! There are also some slightly more sophisticated moments of authentic suspense, like when one poor girl is slowly transforming into a human mannequin doll. That always struck me as genuinely horrific. Last but not least, "The Hazing" benefices from the lovely naked bodies of Nectar Rose and the exquisite Tiffany Shepis. Brad Dourif overacts wondrously as the maniacal professor.

insomniac_rod Mindless slasher flick that accomplishes it's mission: entertain. We got plenty of hot women (Brooke Burke, Tiffany Shepis!), death scenes, and a cool setting. That's enough for a B-movie that airs on Cinemax at late night. The plot is somehow a rip-off "The Evil Dead" and "The Fear 2" but has it's own ideas. Also, it reminded me of "Popcorn". Anyways, the acting is not the best but the characters are symphatetic. Tiffany Shepis steals the show and carries the whole movie on her back. She's gorgeous. What a hot body... The rest of the cast is just okay. I wonder how Brad Dourif was convinced to make this movie. The director does whet he can. THe movie is eye for the candy mainly because of it's use of colors mixed with dark settings. The death scenes aren't inventive or gory but still were a nice try. The things to watch in "The Hazing": Brooke Burke's brief appearance. She wears the shortest mini skirt she found! She looked totally hot in that scene. Tifanny Shepi's butt is also something to check out. And the "Evil Dead" references. That's it. This movie isn't that bad. It deserves a watch only if you have nothing better to do.

slayrrr666 "The Hazing" is one of the better neo-slashers around.**SPOILERS**In order to get accepted into a new fraternity, a group of pledges, Delia Rodgers, (Nectar Rose) Marsha Glazer, (Tiffany Shepis) Tim Fields, (Parry Shen) Doug Leary, (Philip Andrew) and Roy Moore, (Jeremy Maxwell) go around town on a scavenger hunt and manage to become successful at it. During the hunt, Marsha and Doug accidentally kill the psychotic Professor Kapps, (Brad Dourif) and leave him to die, but by taking a sacred book of his, his spirit escapes and follows them back to a haunted mansion. When they begin to die, they band together to stay alive.The Good News: This is one of the better slasher films out nowadays. It has a nice gimmick of mixing in the supernatural as well, giving it a series of different groups to appeal to. The killer is a supernatural persona, a supernatural tome is quite frequently used in here, and possession is a common theme. The slasher elements are in play, and give us some impressive sequences. The death by street sign decapitation is one of the best, and is gets the award as the creepiest death, although there is plenty to give it a shot. Even though there is more than enough creepy deaths, what really makes them work is the high amount of gore involved. There is an ax to the head, needles in the eyes, and a dart thrown into the head, among other things. This is a seriously bloody movie, and should please gore-hounds to no end. I was also surprised at the extremely high amount of jumps in here. Many of them are the standard "something-pops-into-view-unexpectedly" kind of jumps, but most of them actually work. I was surprised at the number as well, I didn't expect that many too. Even a few non-traditional jumps work in here as well, so this is a pretty scary movie when it can be. The house is pretty creepy as well, and looks like a typical haunted house. It alone has the potential to give some great scares, and coupled with the other jumps, this is a really great, creepy film. There is a lot more to like about this one, but I don't to give away too much here.The Bad News: There really isn't a lot of bad things I can say about this one. Perhaps the only thing is that I want to see a film involving a sorority/fraternity not doing a standard "night-in-a-haunted-house" type of story. It's been done to death, although this is one of the more creative offerings. Have a little more creativity here.The Final Verdict: This is one of the better slasher films made recently, and features a lot of great stuff for fans of these films. This is well worth the time to find and seek out for just about any kind of horror fan.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Full Nudity and a strong sex scene
